Now LeasingBuilding the Rio Grande Valley. Creating Home.
More Than an Address
Every project starts with finding the right place. For some families, that's a new home. For others, it's a build-ready lot or a rental. For a business, it may be the right place to grow.
Zarate Homes & Designs builds new homes, develops communities, creates build-ready lots, offers rental properties and delivers commercial developments across Harlingen and communities throughout the Rio Grande Valley.
We're here because this is home for our family, too. The places we build become part of the same Valley where we live, work and raise our families.
